Hello. I use expire plugin with dovecot 1.1.10. See my dovecot -n: # 1.1.10: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE-p9 i386 ufs syslog_facility: local6 protocols: imap imaps managesieve ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/mail/mail.domain.net.cert ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/mail/mail.domain.net.key disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default):

Hello. I would like to know it a 'proper' solution exist to get the size (in MB) of a maildir. Actually, to get it, I do a 'du -sh' but I'm not sure it is a good solution. And it does not return the same value than imap-quota. Is there a command, a tool, in Dovecot to get it? There is the maildirsize but it's very difficult to get the value with a script shell and with

Hi. I test expire plugin for my dovecot 1.1.8. But, it seems to not work. I have 3 mailboxes on my machine. I want my messages in Junk and Trash expire after 1 day. I removed all messages in them before installing expire plugin. See my dovecot.conf: expire: Trash 1 Junk 1 expire_dict: proxy::expire My dabatases in /var/lib/dovecot are used. When I launch /usr/local/sbin/dovecot

Hello, I intend to use maildir Quota for measurement only, not for applying restrictions. Therefore I defined rather high values. That's working as expected. Nevertheless it's not useful, because the recalculation time is to high. This takes some minutes for my own mailaccount with 250.000 mails on a NFS storage. This would be to bad, but whilst this time, the Mailclient hangs. Probably

Hello, I am testing expire plugin, with quota plugin enabled. When I execute expire-tool, maildirsize is not updated. Is there any solution to update maildirsize when executing expire-tool? # /usr/local/dovecot/sbin/dovecot --version 1.1.18 # /usr/local/dovecot/sbin/dovecot -n # 1.1.18: /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE i386 base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/

Hi, sorry if this asked twice, i ve searched the list and found some equal posts, but couldnt get my problem fixed with it if running cronjob with expire ( using mysql ) i get dovecot -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf --exec-mail ext /usr/lib/dovecot/expire-tool --test Info: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap Info: Module loaded:

Hello. I use dovecot 1.1.8 in a FreeBSD 6.3 Today, I want to active expire plugin. But it does not work. I made instructions described in http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Expire for a bdb database.

Hello, I use Dovecot 1.0.12 with Postfix on FreeBSD. It works perfectly, but I have a question. My users are virtual (stocked in a MySQL database). I use SASL Dovecot authentification, and SASL uses my userdb (for POP/IMAP access). However, I would like my users have an other login/password to send email with SMTP/SASL. Or, I don't want my users use the same login/password for POP/IMAP

Hello, I'm a recent convert to dovecot from courier-imap and the performance has certainly improved. I'm running the vanilla 1.0.7 version that came with the CentOS 5.2 x86_64 distro. I've come across a similar problem that was posted by Ralf Hildebrandt earlier this year under the same subject, but that thread just seems to have died off. I'm also using per- user maildirsize

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm having some problems with quota from sql (maildir++) and dovecot + maildrop. I'm using maildrop for MDA and dovecot as IMAP server. When an e-mail arrives, maildrop calculates the quota and updates the 'maildirsize' file. When i use dovecot (webmail, thunderbird) it updates the 'maildirsize' too, overwriting it, but in a

I can't get dovecot to ignore a certain directory/namespace when calculating quotas. I am running dovecot 1.2.16 with vpopmail configured for quotas. I use the dot (.) as my separator and my user structure is as follows: ../domain.com/user/Maildir for all the user directories I also have for each user: ../domain.com/user/Maildir/Archive which is a symlink to a NFS mounted

Hi all, Let's say I activate password expiration for every account (including root) for every 90 days. I understand that cronjob for root will fail when the password expires. The question is, if I setup a cronjob every 90 days to renew the root password like: echo diFficulT123 | passwd --stdin root will it work? I mean at second 1 on the 90th day, which will run first? - The cronjob to renew

Hallo, I have a problem to start liveice with a cronjob. On both machines is running debian 3.0. Both machines are connect via vpn. As server is icecast 1.3.11 running on the nother machine liveice. No GUI. Ihave sometimes problems with the vpn connection, this is the reason why I will frequently kill an restart the liveice process. In the archive list I found some scripts to restart the

Thanks, but this is most probably different issue. My maildirsize is computed incorrectly even if I delete it completely and let dovead recompute it so expunging is not in the game. Is there any way how to track/debug the recomputation algorithm in dovecot? On Wed, Aug 24, 2016 at 12:02 AM, WJCarpenter <bill-dovecot at carpenter.org> wrote: > A long shot, but here's how I

Hello, I have a problem about updating Maildirsize file. It seems that the Maildirsize file is not updated after user does POP mail from his maildir. I do not want to use any quota limitation in Dovecot. I only want Dovevot to update the Maildirsize file after user retrieves his mail. The Maildirsize file is created by Postfix. Would it be possible to do like this? How can I configure it?

Hello dovecot Problem : maildirsize and dovecot quota get have different values dovecot version : 2.2.13 happens with : some mailboxes This issue happens only to some mailboxes and only for a specific period of time until maildirsize gets updated by something (not me). I can't reproduce this now because it happened this morning and now its 2 PM and the problem is gone

Hi, I've just straced a dovecot imap process and found one thread sitting there doing hundreds and hundreds of maildirsize updates as follows: > > open("/home/virtual/mydomain.com/home/admin/Maildir/maildirsize", O_RDWR|O_APPEND) = 7 > read(7, "10485760000S\n1562717408 107547\n-"..., 5120) = 2446 > read(7, "", 2674) = 0 >

Hi List, I have (otherwise successfull) migrated a server from cyrus to dovecot (Mac OS X Server 10.5.8 to 10.6.4 [dovecotd version to be 1.1.20apple0.5]). There are ca. 300+ users of which a very small handfull (ca. 1 %) are having reported a usage size that is very different to what 'du' reports. How can I rebuild the maildirsize and why might it be wrong in the first place(?) Will the

Hi, One of my email accounts has 1,5gb of emails in INBOX, but maildirsize shows only 528mb. 'du' also shows 1,5gb and there are 3809 files in cur directory. When I use mailbox status a can see correct values: doveadm -f table mailbox status -u user at domain.sk "messages vsize" INBOX* messages vsize INBOX 3809 1521049349 but when I check the quotas with doveadm:

Hi, it looks like there is a bug (in dovecot or in my config) with quota on maildir mailboxes when accessed via POP3. The maildirsize is not created when not already present (even after a DELE + QUIT command). The quota limit (the first line of maildirsize) is not updated if values are not in sync with those in the database. If maildirsize is present, DELE commands are correctly reported in
